I am very much afraid to have to tell you that France is viciously, viciously polluted. Swimming, it is, in noxious effluent. Brimming in barely breathable bacteria, and pea-soup fogs to atrophy your lungs. Poison present in clouds of toxicity, worse than Union Carbide on a bad day in Bhopal. You virtually need deep-sea diving equipment to venture across its borders. At least, that’s the conclusion you’d be justified in arriving at when studying France’s ZFEs—zones à faibles émissions, or feeble emissions zones. These are zones that are so immensely unhealthy, that you cannot drive a car whose engine uses power that hasn’t already emitted a heap of crap at a power station that is not situated there, but is far, far away in someone else’s (really dirty) back yard. https://lnkd.in/e6KdxEGW
